Every now and then there is an interesting application that I would like to try which is available for linux only as source code or flatpak. I don't have a specific application in mind at the moment but it happens often enough.
Would a flatpak extension add value to TCL x86_64? I'm not sure--maybe it is philosophically incompatible with TCL principles (too complex, with too many hooks into dbus +/- gnome-things)?
I'd be interested in knowing what the TCL developers and other users think about this. I don't want to put in the work of creating a flatpak.tcz (or requesting it if my efforts lead to a dead end) if it's not a good fit for our favorite OS.

It seems a TCL extension and a flatpak are antithetical in every possible way. I think I've answered my own question. Sorry for the noise.

i for one would like your answer to be more concrete. is it just the dbus things? or what exactly? i have never looked deeply what dependencies there are for flatpak.
